I have blogstipation. It’s not writer’s block. It’s too much that needs to come out.
And if Elaine reads this, she’ll be disgusted. 🙂
Always seeking honesty, wisdom, and hope
I have blogstipation. It’s not writer’s block. It’s too much that needs to come out.
And if Elaine reads this, she’ll be disgusted. 🙂
And Elaine would be justified.
I would have thought that as the mother of three, she’d have gotten over her disgust at all potty-related words. But maybe it’s just because she didn’t have boys. How’s that for a sexist comment? Sorry.
Anne Lamott wrote a book about writing once, she called it Bird by Bird. As I vaguely remember, the main point of the title is to just take things piece by piece. Don’t worry about starting at the beginning, don’t worry about writing something good – just write something, and then something else, and then see how far you’ve gotten.
When I got back from FGC and Newberg, I had so much to write, I wrote it out in one long, enormous piece. Chris helped me see that maybe it should be three posts, or six, but I couldn’t have known where to break it up until I had written it all out, in one story, as I experienced it, and then afterwards formatted it better for blog readers.
Dunno if this is helpful or not, but I will hold you in the Light.
prune…..
two definitions
both very effective
Don’t go too far with the prunes, you might have Blogorrhea coming up.
You guys are so clever with the subtle potty humor – I love it!!! So Gregg – you get things moving yet? 🙂
Dear Greg,
Please don’t stop blogging. We don’t know each other but I found your blog by searching for help. I ask God to help me get my life in order, help me to know what is wrong and right and give me strength to do the things i should and the knowledge to know what i should be doing. i was asking god for help in my life and miraculously i came upon your blogs about 2 minutes later and they have helped me tremendously. i put in the search bar “practical ways to help your life” and since i am interested in gardening, i saw “practical gardening” and clicked on that. i believe God is helping me through your blogs because they are so meaningful. it was like God answering my question and it really touched me.
thank you,
deborah
